First Class, Historic Home in Kerrytown

First Class, Historic Home in Kerrytown

John W. Maynard constructed this center-entry side gabled brick house in 1844. At the time the home was in the middle of a large, undeveloped block. Catherine Street did not extend between Division and State Streets until 1898. Maynard was a successful grocer with a store on Ann Street and his brother, William, was the city's most successful land developers during his time and the Mayor of Ann Arbor in the mid 1800s. Maynard street in Ann Arbor still bears their family's name as they were some of the early settlers of Ann Arbor. John and William Maynard were also responsible for donating land they personally owned in order for Ann Arbor to win the bid as the future location of the University of Michigan.
In the 173 year life of this home it has served as student centers, a church, and the home to many of Ann Arbor's finest residents.
Today the exterior of the home still has the most charm of any home in Ann Arbor but in 2006 it was meticulously restored and no expense was spared. The home has a viking range, sub zero fridge, wine bar, huge wrap around porch, patio, kohler fixtures, surround sound throughout the house, and much more. Probably the best feature of the home is that it is absolutely in the heart of Ann Arbor and within walking distance to anything and everything.
The house has recently served as a temporary residence for Neve Campbell, Hillary Swank, and other celebrities which should also indicate that it's one of the best in Ann Arbor.
The set up for the beds in the home is 2 bedrooms with king sized beds, 2 bedrooms with queens, 1 bedroom with a full, a full sized pull out couch, and 2 twin beds in a newly remodeled attic. There is also plenty of floor space for air mattresses if need be.
Although the home is already beautiful we have projects and refining done throughout the year to make it better and better. Without a doubt this is the best home to rent in the Ann Arbor area.

Perfect Home in the Perfect Location.

A great home to host a large group in the center of Ann Arbor. The location is about equidistant between Zingermans and Ashleys, and just over a mile to the Big House. Multiple space inside and outside the home to entertain, with a great kitchen, porch and front yard. The top floor is also a tremendous space for multiple kids to play and sleep.

Great House

We had a great time planning our family reunion around a UM football game. The house was large, immaculate, and perfectly located for seeing the sights in Ann Arbor. Unlike many rental places, there was nary a whiff of mold anywhere in the house, not even the large basement. The house is close to many bars and restaurants (2 blocks to Zingermann's), but not too close as to hear all the noise. The huge porch with rocking chairs was perfect for hanging out. David was great in showing us the house and talking a bit of its history when we checked in. I'll surely be back.

Maynard House made our Big Chill weekend

When planning a special Ann Arbor weekend for my 25th undergrad reunion, as well as my husband's 20 B-School reunion, I came across this house on VBRO and thought it might be a great place to gather. The house was immaculate and very comfortably slept 11 of us. While we did flip for the two basement bedrooms, the bathroom on that level is very nice and no one felt shorted. The house was perfectly located for every weekend activity - Main St, Zingerman's, Angelo's and Michigan stadium all a short walk away. We were constantly gathered in the well appointed kitchen, comfortable LR and in front of the enormous TV to watch the Cub's win the playoffs. One of the best memories of the weekend -- our group photo on the front lawn reenacting the Big Chill movie poster. We are already plotting our return in 5 years and friends who were enamored of Maynard House have hinted that they will try to poach this house. Not on our watch!!! Thank you for making the booking easy and the stay such a pleasure. The house really was central to a memorable weekend.
